TAMA Marching Tenor Drums have been designed with revolutionary new features. The drums can be positioned in a range of angles to account for different body types. All adjustments are player friendly and require only a tuning key. The tenor drums are light weight yet very strong and stable. TAMA's philosophy has always been to create innovative products from the player's viewpoint. This has led to the successful breakthrough of technology and sound of TAMA Marching Tenor Drums.

Dr. Elaine Heffner: Computational thinking
A great deal has been written bemoaning the way computers and technology in all its forms have taken over children's lives. City streets require watchful -- or defensive -- walking to avoid a collision with a young person focused on texting, unaware of anyone or anything else. Riding on bus or subway it is rare to see a child without a gadget on which to play games, and even very young children seem to have cell phones.
The involvement in technology is reflected in the world of higher education where the number of computer science majors has more than doubled. This also reflects a job market interested in coding and big data. But beyond the involvement with one's personal device, and the indispensable role of computers for information and problem solving, increasingly the interest is in how computers do what they do. In other words, how to think like a computer.
Turning to google with a question and getting the answer in no time can seem like magic. So do things like artificial intelligence or the use of robots for tasks that seemed to require human intelligence. Now, however, the ability to think like a computer is gaining interest as a way to tackle problems in many areas of life.
Computational thinking is increasingly part of computer science studies in higher education but it is making inroads in various ways even for very young children. At the Eliot-Pearson Children's School of Tufts University, kindergarten children are learning coding with specially created wooden blocks bearing bar codes used to program robots.
Learning the language of machines is thought to be as basic as writing is to proficiency in a foreign language.
Computational thinking is being promoted as a key to abstraction, critical thinking, and problem solving. But with that comes the tendency to view computer science knowledge as supreme, and better than that obtained in other fields. Unfortunately, this is a tendency that arises with any newly developed area of knowledge, which then begins to take over education as a whole.
Promoting new ideas as the answer to superior education has a long history. When my children were in grade school, "new math" became the answer for teaching arithmetic to young children. Tom Lehrer, the songwriter/entertainer, did a parody at that time which included the line, "base 8 is really just like base 10 -- if you're missing two fingers." The joke being that it created more confusion than understanding.
Another example is the introduction of sight-reading or whole words approach to teaching young children how to read. For a time, teaching phonics was abandoned, to the detriment of many -- if not most -- children. Without a knowledge of phonics there were no tools for tackling new words that had not been seen before.
The unintended consequences of throwing out the old in favor of something new are usually not foreseen until new problems are created. There are avenues other than computational thinking to abstraction, critical thinking, and problem solving. Educator Ken Robinson defines creativity as the process of having original ideas that have value, which he believes comes about through different ways of seeing things.
A mother told me that her 4-year-old son loves the Amazon children's show, "Creative Galaxy," and said with excitement, "Mom, everywhere you look there is art." She also reported that he later said, "An artist always wants to be doing art, even when it is not possible," as it was time to leave.
Clearly, there are values nourished in ways other than computational thinking, which we have to make sure are preserved in our system of education.

Things to Do in the Wisconsin Dells
Top attractions in the Wisconsin Dells
Most visitors to this town of 2,700 spend time twisting down water slides or floating in wave pools. What almost certainly ranks as one of the most kid-friendly vacation spots in the Heartland revolves around giant indoor and outdoor water parks, such as Mount Olympus (pictured).
But be sure to see the Dells, the unique, craggy bluffs rising over the Wisconsin River like stacks of sandstone pancakes. Some of the best views are from double-decker excursion boats. And attractions in nearby Baraboo, including Circus World Museum and the International Crane Foundation, are worth leaving the pool for as well.
More information: (800) 223-3557; wisdells.com
- Photo courtesy of Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau
International Crane Foundation
A trip to the Dells means you're only minutes away from this Baraboo animal habitat, the one place in the world where all 15 species of cranes live. Take guided or self-guided tours through savanna and tallgrass prairie, see whooping cranes in a wetland and learn about preservation efforts. (608) 356-9462; savingcranes.org
- Photo Courtesy of Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau
Dells Boat Tours
See the Dells' signature sandstone cliffs and rock formations from a slow-moving double-decker boat or a full-throttle jet boat. Sunset dinner cruises include a stop to walk on a torch-lit path at Witches Gulch. (608) 254-8555; dellsboats.com
- Photo courtesy of Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau
Circus World Museum
In Baraboo (12 miles south of the Dells), see exhibits and shows on the grounds of the original Ringling Brothers Circus winter quarters. Kids can create a circus performance at KidsWorld Circus. (866) 693-1500; circusworld.wisconsinhistory.org
- Photo courtesy of Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau
Devil's Lake State Park
Two miles south of Baraboo, Devil's Lake attracts more visitors annually than any other Wisconsin state park. Fishing, swimming and boating are popular on the 360-acre spring-fed lake. Nearly 30 miles of trails wind along the shoreline or though rocky forests. (608) 356-8301; dnr.state.wi.us
- Photo Courtesy of Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau
Mirror Lake State Park
Three miles from the Dells, this park—named for its calm lake that reflects a wooded shoreline—offers a quiet retreat. Bike, boat, canoe and kayak rentals are offered; the lake also has a beach. (608) 254-2333; dnr.state.wi.us
The Seth Peterson Cottage overlooking Mirror Lake was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last commissions, in 1958. In disrepair by the early 1980s, it is now restored and open for overnight stays. Call well in advance. (877) 466-2358; sethpeterson.org
Original Wisconsin Duck Tours
Drivers offer insight about local history and geology during 8.5-mile land and water tours in amphibious vehicles. (608) 254-8751; wisconsinducktours.com

Today in the news: Fight breaks out in Ukrainian parliament
Hot video: Melee in Ukrainian parliament
Quote of note
"I've done this job pretty well, and I think people watched me for the last number of weeks in Hurricane Sandy doing 18-hour days and getting right back up the next day and still being just as effective in the job, so I don't really think that would be a problem." -- New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, in response to Barbara Walters' question about those who said he was too overweight to someday become president. Christie was one of Walters' "Ten Most Fascinating People of 2012."
News to know
Russian foreign policy officials announced today that the Syrian government is "losing more and more control and territory" to rebel forces. While Russia is one of Syria's stronger allies, plans have been made to evacuate thousands of Russian citizens living in Syria if the need arises.
This is the first time the Russian government has recognized the possibility of government upset, with Russian deputy foreign minister stating "Unfortunately, we cannot rule out the victory of the Syrian opposition."
Western nations have recently become concerned that the Syrian government plans to use chemical weapons against their own people. Russia and China, another ally of Syria, have vetoed UN resolutions condemning use of violence by the Syrian government.

Sam Sommers has another first-rate situationist post, titled "Aggressive Drivers Anonymous" over on the Psychology Today Blog. Here are some excerpts.
* * *
Last week I was driving my daughters to a birthday party when I pulled over at an intersection to let a fire engine through. Naturally, one driver, in a green Nissan, decided to use the speeding truck as his personal blocking back, tailing close behind and passing those of us who had pulled to the side. He made just enough progress before getting to the stoplight that I found myself totally cut off once the truck passed, forced to sit there and wait through yet another cycle of the light. I could have just let the transgression go, of course, but I felt an uncontrollable urge to honk my horn at Green Nissan as we waited at the red light.
In fact, I didn't just give a quick honk of irritation. No, I gave him two distinct honks—the first a brief one to announce my presence with authority, the second a longer, drawn-out one to remind Green Nissan, as he waited at the light, that 1) he did something wrong, 2) I know he did something wrong, and 3) I know that he knows he did something wrong.
* * *
. . . [D]istracted, it took me a few minutes to realize that, two miles later, I was still right behind Green Nissan. And I had made a few turns since the fire truck went by. I started to get the sinking sensation that we might be headed to the same destination, a hypothesis further supported by the sight of a car seat in the back of his car as well.
Why this gave me an uneasy feeling, I cannot pinpoint precisely, as there were multiple factors at play. But of one thing I'm quite sure—the freedom I felt to honk my horn aggressively at Green Nissan from my safe, anonymous seat behind the windshield quickly dissipated at the mere thought of having a face-to-face encounter with him in an open parking lot.
Was I afraid of an actual physical confrontation? Not really. . . .
More likely, I was thinking about the fact that I really don't enjoy confrontations of any type, my zealous horn-honking notwithstanding. Moreover, I don't relish being thought of as a jerk, and it was beginning to dawn on me that this was probably precisely what Green Nissan thought of me. Maybe I hadn't been a jerk per se, but had I overreacted at least a tad? Sure. And while all these thoughts were running through in my head, I found myself following Green Nissan through yet another pair of turns, one left, one right. I slumped a bit further down in my seat as I drove on.
* * *
The experience just served to crystallize for me how powerful it is to feel anonymous in a situation, particularly when it comes to the manifestation of aggression. As [Situationist contributor] Phil Zimbardo has written, feeling anonymous and deindividuated leads college students to administer greater levels of shocks to fellow student in laboratory studies. Along similar, albeit graver lines, perpetrators of violence, whether vigilante or state-sponsored in origin, often disguise themselves in hoods, masks, or make-up. And it's no coincidence that the harshest, most aggressive verbal swipes taken in cyberspace usually come from anonymous sources as well.
Research even speaks directly to my very experiences on the road last week, illustrating that feelings of anonymity lead to increases in aggressive driving. In retrospect, that's exactly how I felt behind the wheel when Green Nissan cut me off: anonymous. I knew he could catch a glimpse of me if he turned to look, but I assumed we were heading in different directions and I was never going to see him again. That liberated me to act in ways I'd never dream of in face-to-face interaction.
* * *
. . . . Just yet another demonstration of the power of subtle situational factors: It's amazing how something as simple as sitting behind the wheel of a car can be enough to lead to such transformations in identity and behavior.

KATHLEEN PARKER: When political commentary becomes frightening
WASHINGTON — Children, children. Here we are in the midst of a bloody clash in Egypt, more than 100,000 slaughtered in Syria, another looming debt crisis at home, and we're consumed with angst over a rodeo clown who wore an Obama mask and invited the crowd to cheer for the bulls. There's more. The clown has been fired. The president of the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association has stepped down. The Missouri State Fair is forcing clowns to undergo sensitivity training. The NAACP wants a Justice Department investigation into the clown act as a hate crime. And a Texas congressman has invited the clown to come on down. It seems impossible to take this seriously, yet seriously we must take it. So here we go. The clown act was offensive for one reason only: The president is black. No peep would have been made otherwise. But therein lie a difference and a distinction that deserve our unbiased scrutiny. A word about my own biases: I don't like rodeos and I don't like clowns. The former involve animals performing involuntarily and the latter are creepy. (I don't like zoos and circuses, either.) But clowns are … clowns! It's their job to poke the precious and touch the untouchable. They are inherently rude, irreverent, insulting, insensitive and sometimes salacious. Presidents, obviously, are fair game and every modern president's face has been made into a mask. Still. There's something wrong with this clown act. It isn't a hate crime, which is a ridiculous charge, but it is something we need to wrap our minds around. First, let's correct a popular mischaracterization. Wearing an Obama mask is not tantamount to "blackface," which is implicitly racist. When the president's face is black, then the president's mask is necessarily black. Unless, apparently, the person wearing the mask is white, as was the rodeo clown. Question: If a black person wears a George W. Bush mask, is he racist? The next logical question answers the first: What if the clown wears a Bush mask at an event attended primarily by blacks and invites the crowd to cheer for the bulls? This unlikely event would feel offensive for the same reasons the recent clown event did. The Missouri rodeo audience was mostly white and the masked man in the ring was depicting a black man. This changes everything we think about humor, about clowns, and about good, old-fashioned fun. Just as N-jokes are no longer funny to almost anyone, placing a black man in the arena like an unarmed gladiator isn't amusing. As much as we aspire to racial harmony, we have centuries of history to overcome, including the mob-inspired lynching of black men, and this is what so many saw in the clown skit. Memory conquers humor. To be honest, my first reaction was: What a lot of bull. But then, as one must, I put myself in the other's shoes. How would I feel if my face were on the clown's mask and the arena were filled with men who cheered the beast who would trample and destroy me? This is where political commentary becomes something else. Frightening. We all know what happens when the mob is empowered, especially when further emboldened by the excuse of humor. Few statements are more dishonest than "It's just a joke." I am the last person who would suggest that irreverence be censored or punished — or that clowns be sensitized. The excessively reverent are far scarier to me than those who would die laughing. Political satire is, in fact, a public service inasmuch as it channels aggression that otherwise might find bloody expression. But a civil society should find reprehensible even mock violence against a president, especially one who belongs to a minority that was once targeted for state-sanctioned violence. I sincerely doubt that the rodeo clown was motivated by racial hatred. I also doubt that President Obama much cared, except for how his daughters might feel about it. Or, to be cynical, about the degree to which public outrage accrued to his political advantage. I even give the benefit of the doubt to those who cheered the bulls as being inspired by political rather than racial animus. And, yes, reaction has been overblown to the point of silliness, but there are lessons nonetheless. We could stand to tone down our political expression for the sake of all our daughters and sons, who bear witness to these events and must make sense of their world. Perhaps more to the point, we might try to take ourselves more lightly.

The Thinkmap SDK enables organizations to incorporate data-driven visualization technology into their enterprise Web applications. Thinkmap applications allow users to make sense of complex information in ways that traditional interfaces are incapable of.
The Thinkmap SDK (v. 2.8) includes a set of out-of-the-box configurations for solving common visualization problems, as well as new visualization techniques for customizing data displays.
We have designed Thinkmap to be lightweight, fast, easily extensible, and able to connect seamlessly to a wide variety of data sources. Thinkmap is composed of two primary components:
The SDK includes conceptual documentation and detailed JavaScript reference for the Visualization Component; datasource adapters for relational databases and flat files; a library of traditional user interface elements that can be used as components in a Thinkmap application; and a complete set of examples to help developers get up-and-running quickly.
Thinkmap's flexible architecture allows developers to configure applications to address a wide range of retrieval and discovery issues. Each element of a Thinkmap display from the length and thickness of a line to the color, size, shape, and movement of a node is configurable using the SDK, so that interfaces can be designed to perform specific tasks. The elements can also be mapped to numeric values in the data, so that combinations of qualitative and quantitative information can be expressed through a single interface.
Tutorials, a complete set of examples, and a library of interface elements are available to assist developers. Full Documentation provides technical and design assistance for implementing custom visualizations.

Patients & Families
For Health Professionals
Why does a gynecologist ask when your last period was?
– Mariam*
Knowing when your last period was can give your gynecologist (or nurse practitioner) a lot of information. For example, it can help pinpoint where you are in your menstrual cycle, which can affect your vaginal discharge, your breast exam, and things like bloating and cramps.
Knowing when your last period was also can let your gyn know about the timing of your menstrual cycle. If it's been a while since a girl's period, the doctor might want to test for things like hormonal imbalances or pregnancy. If a girl is pregnant, the date of her last period helps doctors and nurse practitioners figure out the baby's due date.
Since knowing the date of your last period can be so helpful, it's a good idea to make a note of it on your phone or calendar so you have the information handy when asked.
Your gyn or nurse practitioner might ask lots of questions about your periods. How you answer them can help you get the best care for your specific needs.
Don't leave all the questions to your doctors and nurses, though. Asking your own — like why your gyn is doing a pelvic exam or ordering certain tests — lets you take charge of your own health.

A visit to Chile helped to inspire a collection that includes anti-war poems
The Republic of Poetry: Poems. By Martín Espada. Norton, 63 pp., $23.95.
By Janice Harayda
Martín Espada wears his causes on his sleeve, and it's a heavy sleeve. Many of his poems read like editorials in verse, but without the surprise endorsements that most newspapers serve up occasionally. His politics are as predictable as an incumbent's stump speech. He opposes torture, apartheid, dictatorship, police brutality and, apparently, war in general and the war in Iraq in particular. (Two of the poems in this book appeared on the site Poets Against War www.poetsagainstwar.net.) He supports poets and poetry.
Espada visited Chile in 2004 for the centenary of the birth of the Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, and his trip inspired a dozen poems that form the core of The Republic of Poetry. In "City of Glass" he writes of the ransacking of Neruda's home by soldiers loyal to Gen. Augusto Pinochet, who had overthrown the elected Salvador Allende. The opening lines set the tone for a poem that turns the fragility of glass into a graceful metaphor for the fragility of democracy in Chile:
The poet's house was a city of glass:
cranberry glass, milk glass, carnival glass,
red and green goblets row after row,
black luster of wine in bottles …
Elsewhere Espada reaches frequently for images that are banal or strained. On a visit to his childhood home in Brooklyn, he recalls a youthful injury with the mawkish line: "Blood leaked on the floor like oil from the engine of me." In a bar he has a vision of a wooden figure he saw in Neruda's home: "He likes for me to be still, / she grinned …" That "she grinned" isn't bad poetry so much as hack writing in general; it would be as bad in your local newspaper as in a book. Espada can do better – and sometimes he does – but he clearly has the spirit of Chilean poets who once protested their oppression by bombing the national palace with bookmarks imprinted with poetry. In his way, he's bombing you, too.
Best line: All of "City of Glass," one of two poems in the book first published in The New Yorker.
Worst line: In "Black Islands" Espada writes of a meeting the Chilean father of a five-year-old: " Son, the father said, this is a poet, / like Pablo Neruda." That "like Pablo Neruda" could mean two things: "a poet, as was Pablo Neruda" or "a poet similar to Pablo Neruda." Either way, this is unappetizing self-congratulation. You wonder what Neruda would have thought of that self-congratulatory "like Pablo Neruda" in "Black Islands."
Published: October 2006. Paperback due out from Norton in April 2008.
Furthermore: Espada www.martinespada.net was born in Brooklyn, New York, and teaches at the University of Massachusetts. He has written seven other poetry collections, including Imagine the Angels of Bread, which won American Book Award.
Janice Harayda is an award-winning journalist been the book columnist for Glamour, book editor of the Plain Dealer and a vice-president of the National Book Critics Circle www.bookcritics.org. She would like to expand One-Minute Book Reviews to include podcasts, broadcasts and other services, such as online book discussion groups or forums in "real time," and is looking for a home for this blog that would make it possible to provide these.

In our continuing series "Whatever happened to Sunday Dinners?" I would like to propose:
- Barbequed Tempeh from The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook
- Chickpea Broccoli Casserole from Vegan With A Vengeance
- Gâteau au "fromage" à l'orange & aux amandes (orange & almond tofu "fromage" cheese cake) a Shellyfish original.
If you're hungry, scroll down, this is a little long…
Being a vegan isn't always easy. Dealing with an oft-misinformed public, tricky labeling, well-meaning but misguided friends and family members choosing sometimes radically inappropriate moments* to re-vegan-hash the "So why don't you eat meat again?" question, stern-faced teachers and daycare personnel, incredulous about the lack of animal protein in your child's diet…and so many other examples. I became a vegetarian over 18 years ago, and I was very lucky to have a supportive omnivore family, and then I moved to the other end of the United States and was living in an extremely veg-friendly city with great veg-friendly businesses, bakeries, groceries and restaurants. While I very, very rarely did anything resembling "cooking" or "baking", I always had veg-friendly things to eat at my apartment, but I admit to very often eating out or getting take-out, and was generally a very lazy veg who was lacto-ovo much of the time.
It's not the same life anymore for the Shellyfish, and I find myself spending more and more time in the kitchen. I used to cringe when I would imagine the "TMF" (typical married female) living somewhere between her laundry room and her kitchen, waiting on her husband and kids… (this reductionist view may well explain my former fear of commitment syndrome). I've evolved, and while some chicas are sadly uber-oppressed, I'm happy (most of the time) being a part-time stay-at-home mom, and I have discovered a new passion these past few years: spending time in the kitchen!
With the plethora of vegan cookbooks on the market and the growing numbers of vegan recipes on-line, it's rather easy to find cruelty-free delicious things to prepare. While I am still in a far from veg-friendly French town, we have three, count 'em, three health-food stores where I can find (expensive) tofu and other "oddities", and when I lived in the area summer of 2004, there was much less choice to be had. It's exciting to see things changing! While newly pregnant during Fall of 2004 (and home-bound and hungry!), I ordered a copy of The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook edited by Louise Hagler and Dorothy R. Bates at the suggestion of a friend brought up in a veg-household (and whose mom is a mid-wife). This cookbook is so amazing! I rarely see it cited on the veg-blogosphere, and it's dommage because it is really one of the most complete, basic vegan bibles out there. It explains DIY tofu, tempeh, yuba, gluten/seitan, you name it. The other great thing about this book is that it doesn't call for specific hard-to-find brand-names, most everything is findable for a country mouse or a city mouse. I admit NFVC isn't as hip or sexy as the newer, glossy books available. This book is from the mid-70s (just like me!), and it's retro without trying to be. Get this book. You will not regret it. Well, maybe you will, but I think you'll really like it.
Enough babble, on with our Sunday Dinner menu!
Until yesterday I'd never made my own BBQ sauce. There is a snappy recipe in the NFVC that you let simmer for an hour, and it is tangy and sassy and all those great BBQ adjectives rolled into one. Get your sauce going, then start your gâteau au fromage. I adapted this recipe from the basic Tofu Cheesecake recipe in NFVC, and have never regretted it. I've got another variation with maple syrup & pecans, but that's for another day…
- GATEAU AU "fromage" À L'ORANGE ET AUX AMANDES
- 500g/about 1lb medium tofu (just pat dry, don't press)
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup veg. oil of choice
- 1 cup organic sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2 tablespoon orange essence/orange water (different brands call it different things)
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- shaved almonds, orange slices, raspberry coulis for garnish
Break up the tofu, and add all ingredients together in a food processor or blender and whip until creamy and smooth. If things are a bit grainy, mix some more, adding a hair of orange juice if it's too thick. Pour into your crust of choice and bake at 350f for about 45 minutes or until it hardly jiggles in the middle. Let cool completely before trying to cut it!
While your gâteau is cooking and your BBQ sauce is simmering, you can set to work on the "Chickpea Broccoli Casserole" from VWAV. I'd never made it before, and I learned the hard way that you can't always do with a "stiff fork" what you can do with a potato masher. After getting nowhere with my fourchette, I decided to squish my chickpeas with my bare hands (I'm a brute).
Once you get your casserole in the oven, just deep-fry your tempeh, and pour a little of your now-finished sauce in the bottom of a baking dish, add your blotted tempeh, then bake for about 15 minutes at around 350f.
Everything was so super delicious! Mr. Fish was a little afraid of the casserole because it looked so "healthy", but once he tasted it (and covered it with BBQ sauce) everything was fine. The Guppy devoured her gâteau au fauxmage, but the BBQ sauce was a little too much for her.
*like at the dinner table when they are about to wolf-down a fork-full of dead animal…I usually say, "I don't think this is an appropriate time to talk about this." or something similar, they push, I begin discussing slaughter-house strategies, etc., and inevitably someone at the table is horribly offended and gets all 'radical vegan' on me…

Screening Detects Risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Children
Published on in CHOP News
Skip to content
Published on in CHOP News
March 17, 2011 — A pilot study in healthy children and adolescents shows that it is feasible to screen for undiagnosed heart conditions that increase the risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Adding a 10-minute electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) to a history and physical examination identified unsuspected cases of potentially serious heart conditions.
Although more research is needed, the preliminary results suggest that a relatively low-cost screening might help identify children who are at risk for sudden cardiac arrest, possibly preventing childhood death.
"In the United States, the current American Heart Association guidelines recommend screening only competitive athletes, not all children, using history and physical examination alone," said the study leader, Victoria L. Vetter, MD, MPH, a pediatric cardiologist at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She noted that in Italy and Japan, which have compulsory screening of all athletes or schoolchildren, researchers have found that adding an ECG to the history and physical increases the likelihood of detecting children at risk for SCA.
"Our pilot study evaluated the feasibility of adding an ECG to cardiac screening of healthy school-aged children," Vetter added. The Children's Hospital research team published their study on March 15 in the American Heart Journal.
In children, sudden cardiac arrest is caused by structural or electrical abnormalities in the heart that frequently cause no symptoms and may go undiagnosed. It results in an estimated 100 to 1,000 or more annual deaths in childhood in the U.S. The current study evaluated 400 healthy subjects, 5 to 19 years old, recruited from Children's Hospital's Care Network. The researchers screened the subjects using a medical family history questionnaire, a physical examination, an ECG and an echocardiogram.
The study team identified previously undiagnosed cardiac abnormalities in 23 subjects, and hypertension in an additional 20. Ten of the 400 subjects (about 2.5 percent) had potentially serious cardiac conditions. Of those 10 subjects, only one had experienced symptoms, and those had previously been dismissed. None of the 10 subjects had a family history of SCA.
"In our study, using ECG outperformed the history and physical examination and found previously unidentified potentially serious abnormalities that would not have been identified by history and physical examination alone," the study authors wrote. The authors added that the children in the screening were not all high school athletes, and most would not have undergone athletic cardiac screening. Regular physical examinations by primary care physicians had not detected the cardiac conditions found in the current study
"Performing the ECG and its interpretation added less than 10 minutes to each subject's total evaluation," said Vetter, added that the ECG machines are portable and relatively inexpensive.
"Our pilot study showed that adding ECG to the currently recommended guideline of history and physical examination is feasible for screening children and adolescents, and offers the potential to identify serious cardiovascular abnormalities," said Vetter. "However, our study was not designed to be generalizable to a larger population of children at risk for SCA. Larger, more representative studies must be done, as well as cost-effectiveness research."
She added that larger pediatric studies may establish better standards for ECG measurements, and determine how broad ECG-screening of school-aged children could best be implemented.
Vetter et al, "A pilot study of the feasibility of heart screening for sudden cardiac arrest in healthy children," American Heart Journal, published online [March 15, 2011]; doi: 10.1016/j.ahj.2011.01.022
Vetter is the Medical Director of Youth Heart Watch at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, an affiliate of Project ADAM. The mission of Youth Heart Watch is to prevent sudden cardiac death among children and adolescents by placing automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in schools, recreation centers and other public places.

Casey Kasem's body missing from funeral home
SEATTLE (AP) — A judge has granted Casey Kasem's daughter a temporary restraining order preventing the famous radio host's wife from cremating his remains, but it's unclear where those remains are or whether they've already been disposed of.
A lawyer for Kasem's daughter Kerri Kasem said Friday that when he went to give a Tacoma funeral home a copy of the restraining order, he was informed it no longer had the remains.
"They said they could not disclose where he had gone or where he would end up," said the lawyer, Scott Winship.
Tim Grant, funeral director at Gaffney Funeral Home & Cremation Services, confirmed Friday that Kasem's body was no longer there.
"I cannot discuss the actual arrangements themselves, but he's no longer in our care," he said.
Kasem's wife of the past 34 years, Jean Kasem, filled out a death certificate dated July 15 listing an address in Jerusalem, Israel, according to a copy filed in Pierce County Superior Court. The document listed "removal from state" as the intended means of disposing the remains, the Urgel Bourgie funeral home in Montreal as the place of disposition, and July 14 as the date of disposition.
A man who answered the phone at Urgel Bourgie on Friday evening said it had disposed of no such remains and had no one by the name of Casey Kasem in its computer system.
Teruyuki Olsen, a lawyer for Kasem's wife, refused to comment Friday or provide any information about what happened to Kasem's body.
Kasem, the radio host of "American Top 40" and voice of animated television characters like Scooby-Doo's sidekick Shaggy, died June 15 at a hospital in Gig Harbor. He was 82 and suffering from dementia, and his death followed a lengthy battle over his care between Jean Kasem and his three adult children from his first marriage.
Kerri Kasem asked a Pierce County Superior Court judge on Wednesday for authorization to seek an autopsy on her father as well as a temporary restraining order to ensure his body was held in cold storage and not cremated until that autopsy is completed.
Judge Ronald Culpepper ordered Jean Kasem to ensure that the radio host's remains were preserved and that his body stayed at the Tacoma funeral home until the court decided on the autopsy petition following a July 25 hearing.

This page discusses possibilities for future access control systems. The system being built at 2169 Mission is just a prox card reader.
The subject of access systems for Noisebridge has turned into great _pain_ a number of times in our history since we turned into a physical static space. Here's a summery of points everyone eventually gets to during these discussions, listed here so newcomers can get a general idea of why some folks tend to get a little defensive about the subject...
General notes:
- All access systems have problems. Nothing is actually secure, even with physical keys.
- All access systems could potential be a mouth watering target for a hacker, electronic systems more so then physical systems.
- All electronic authentication systems to gain access to a space could potential be used to log traffic, even with "anonymous keys".
- Physical systems (such as with a key) give the greatest amount of anonymity, but isn't 100% anonymous if someone wanted to log traffic.
- RFID systems, no matter how secure and "key change" prone still have the possibility of tracking a user with a system independent of its intended access system (like a high power RFID scanner setup across the street).
- Electronic access systems give the greatest ability to deny access to a target user or group of users.
Access systems and Noisebridge:
- The building at 2169 Mission has other tenants, and is owned by someone other than Noisebridge. Have courtesy and respect for their needs and rights with regard to building access (and of course generally).
- There are a number of members that would like their access traffic to Noisebridge not to be logged, ever.
- There are a number of members who have stated that if an electronic system (no matter how secure) was to be setup and forced onto all users of Noisebridge, it'll be removed and possibly destroyed or disabled.
- Many members do not appreciate the idea of access "control" and the potential to deny a user or group of users access to Noisebridge.
- There is no official "access control" group at Noisebridge to act as a policing body to enforce any particular type of authentication system or to reprimand anyone for hacking into a system.
- No one has objected to setting up an opt in access system, and so one has been setup using either SSH or HTTP and the Noisebridge network.
So it comes down to this, if you'd like to setup an access system at Noisebridge, make it so it's opt in without affecting anything else that's been previously setup. Keeping the physical key system constant and functional makes pretty much most members happy, as well as the owner and the other tenants. Also asking users for creative input on making a opt in system functional and fairly sure via the list is a good idea, but don't expect to only get positive input about something.
(Copied and formatted from a mail from David Molnar --steen)
Here's what I see needs to be done right now:
1) Identify choices for the overall system architecture Each choice should tell us at a minimum
- what kind of key cards do we need?
- what kind of physical lock do we need?
- what back end hardware do we need to issue new cards, revoke old ones, and do logging?
The choices so far:
- A) das Labor's AnonAccess system
- B) Something that uses DESFire cards from NXP (formerly Philips)
- C) Something that uses IBM's Caernarvon system, as mentioned for example here:
- D) iButton locks - while the basic iButton is roughly like a prox card, there are NVRAM iButtons that could be used with an AnonAccess system.
2) Find suppliers, prices for each choice
- For example, the code for the AnonAccess backend is in a public SVN repository, can be browsed here:
- This is a site that sells several types of smart cards, including the DESFire cards:
- I've seen that some knowledgeable Dutch hackers use a 'Salto' DESFire system rather than a mechanical lock.
The key point of uncertainty for me is the actual door lock assembly. What exactly do we need here, and how do we install it into the actual door? What does the lock cost?
For example, this data sheet specifically mentions DESFire compatibility, but it does not state a price. We need someone to call these people up and find out the price, figure out if it can fit on our current door, etc. http://www.saltosystems.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=45&Itemid=44
What you can do:
- Contact the das Labor people and ask them who their suppliers are. We would probably be happy just copying their setup outright. Also ask about their door lock setup.
- Contact the people with the data sheet above and find out if that lock will work with our door and how much it costs. If it doesn't work, find out if they have a lock that works.
- Find out what back end software we need or special equipment we need if we go the DESFire route.
- I have contacted Paul Karger at IBM to ask about Caernarvon. If you happen to find a supplier that can work with us on that option, that'd be cool too.
Physical cylinders and other lock mechanisms
- The Brute is a popular magnetic lock using in high security settings. It can be purchased for around $390 [1].
- iButton reader plus lock. Default firmware appears to use the iButton as just a prox card, though. http://www.ibuttonlock.com/product/e3-rf.htm
- Electric strikes and electric locks. Card reader not included. http://www.nokey.com/elstrikandma.html
We probably want to have more than one locking mechanism to ensure that it's hard to break down the door.
Multi-factor authentication
It seems reasonable that if we use an access card system that we make ourselves, we should consider adding a secondary authentication step using a PIN. This would be a nice addition to AnonAccess (but perhaps they've already considered it). We should consider acquiring a pin pad with several specific properties. One of the important properties is the ability to withstand the possibly harsh street weather (read: people messing with the door lock system). Another would be to prevent shoulder surfing of pin entry codes. It would be nice if we could find a pin entry system that had a fixed key pad but where the keys changed their meaning at each run. In such a system, rather than a simple 1-9 on a key pad, the 1-9 key space would shuffle the numbers around. The Schlage Model SERIII Scramble Keypad seems like it would do the job just perfectly. The Hirsch ScramblePad (pdf) also includes a proxcard reader.
Door reinforcements
We should ensure that we have a strike plate on the outside of the door. It should be laser or watercut 3 or 4mm sheet steel of high quality.
Extending AnonAccess
If we (and it looks like we will) implement AnonAccess, we should consider a number of modifications. It would be nice to add in some element of tamper resistance. We should be able to detect and react to temperature related issues (such as these temperature sensors ). It would also be nice to have some kind of light sensitive circuit to detect when the cases have been opened (such as these IR sensors).
Adding in a secondary mode of authentication such as the ScramblePad would also be nice. However, for $1000, we could design and build a new project (OpenScramblePad).
Transparent Door
The door currently has a peephole. It would be nice if we put a small camera on the door or in the peephole (like this one). This would allow us to broadcast the video from the front door to screens on the back of the door or in other areas of the space.
The CCC Lock
Some people in the CCC are creating an open source lock ( code can be found on their svn system ). It's based on the burgwächter TSE3000 cylinder, externally driven by their own custom electronics. It uses the Sputnik air interface for a simple crypto protocol. Hopefully the lock is in a state where we can replicate it in the near future.
http://code.google.com/p/cerberus-prox/ is from http://hacklab.to/, our friendly friends to the north. Just prox card et cetera but it is working and done by friendly people.

Does Garcinia Cambogia Plus Work?
Many people are skeptical about Garcinia Cambogia Plus, but the truth is that this supplement can help you lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. Its benefits outweigh the risks. However, you need to be aware of the potential side effects. Read on to learn how this supplement works and what it can do for you. This supplement can be a great choice if you want to lose weight without a lot of trouble.
Does Garcinia Cambogia Work?
Does Garcinia Cambogia Plus Work? is a supplement that claims to reduce fat in the body and help with weight loss. Although the supplement is safe, be cautious about any claims that it will reduce your weight beyond what you could expect from exercising and a lower calorie diet. Although some people have seen results, they are not always permanent. Garcinia Cambogia Plus, for example, is only effective if you adhere to the manufacturer's instructions.
It contains HCA, which is an ingredient that may help curb your appetite. This natural substance can increase your serotonin levels which are essential to regulate your mood. Serotonin is a hormone produced in the brain and is responsible for suppressing your appetite. Although this substance is not a miracle supplement, it can help curb emotional eating and increase energy levels. Studies have indicated that HCA can increase the levels of serotonin in the brain.
There are many weight loss supplements on the market. No one can claim that any of them is the best. To determine which ones work, new studies are required. Garcinia Cambogia studies are not very recent. In addition, most studies suggest that Garcinia Cambogia supplements may produce modest results. To determine if Garcinia Cambogia is right for you, you will need to do your research.
HCA is the active ingredient in garcinia. It inhibits citrate lyase, a key enzyme in the body that converts carbohydrates to fat. This ingredient also suppresses appetite and reduces the intake of unhealthy foods. As such, it may help you lose weight. It may also increase serotonin levels in the brain, which can make you feel fuller for longer.
The study lasted 16 weeks. The subjects were aged 20 to 65 years, with a median of 44. To determine if the Garcinia Cambogia Plus supplement had any effect, the subjects were evaluated at four-week intervals. The results showed that the supplement can help with weight loss in a significant way. This supplement is available at many health food stores and supermarkets. If you're interested in trying it, go for it.
Garcinia Cambogia Plus has many benefits. HCA (Hydroxycitric acid) is a powerful antioxidant that can help you lose weight. The typical daily dosage is between 900 and 2,800 mg. It should be taken on an empty stomach 30 minutes before meals. The supplement contains 50-60% HCA. It is recommended that you use a tablet with at least 60 percent HCA for the best results.
The effects of Garcinia Cambogia on the body are not completely understood. Although there is no direct evidence that Garcinia Cambogia causes weight reduction, some studies have shown that it can improve metabolic conditions. One study found that Garcinia Cambogia reduced total cholesterol levels by 6.3% and increased HDL cholesterol by 10% in overweight and obese subjects. Another study showed that Garcinia Cambogia increased fat metabolites in the urine by 258%. It also inhibits citrate lyase, an enzyme that is responsible for metabolizing fats in the urine.
The compound has been shown to suppress fat production in the body. This could reduce the levels of triglycerides and decrease the likelihood of weight gain. Additionally, Garcinia Cambogia Plus has shown to increase energy expenditure. It may also lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Garcinia Cambogia Plus has many benefits, but there are still questions. The best way to find out if it is right for you is to get a free sample from your local health food store.
Garcinia Cambogia Plus offers many benefits. However, the best way to determine if this supplement is right for you is to follow its instructions. The product works by blocking the production of fat by the body and may even decrease your appetite. Garcinia Cambogia Plus contains a powerful ingredient called HCA. HCA is naturally found in the fruit's rind. Garcinia Cambogia Plus benefits depend on how much HCA you consume and what kind of diet you eat.
There are many weight loss products on the market. However, there is no one supplement that is proven to be the most effective. The supplement can be consumed as long as you follow all instructions and take the correct amount. Before you take this product, consult your doctor. Ultimately, a healthy diet and regular exercise are the best ways to improve your body weight. You should consult your doctor first before attempting to lose weight with Garcinia Cambogia Plus.
Side Effects
It is important to research the side effects of Garcinia Cambogia Plus. To achieve the desired results, you will need to make sure that the supplement is being taken in the correct way. The supplement contains HCA, but it's not a miracle drug that will cure you of your weight problems. This supplement can also cause side effects. It can raise your cholesterol, so you will want to check the list of side effects and see if this is something that you need to avoid.
There are many possible side effects of garcinia cambogia, including mania. Mania can be described as a state marked by euphoria and delusions. One study found that mania was common in a 25-year old man. The manic episode disappeared once he stopped using the supplement. This suggests that garcinia Cambogia could be a trigger for bipolar disorder.
Although garcinia cambogia may have some benefits for people with low amounts of fat, its effects are not strong. Garcinia cambogia's HCA may also prevent the activity of an enzyme which contributes to the formation fat cells. As a result, it may help you lose weight by a few pounds. It may even reduce your cravings. Garcinia cambogia has a positive side effect that makes you feel happier.
Although there are no well-controlled studies, preliminary studies suggest that garcinia cambogia can be helpful in weight loss. One study found that participants who took garcinia-cambogia extract lost more weight than those who received a placebo. It is also being investigated for its effect on exercise performance. Garcinia cambogia has been used traditionally for its ability to increase energy and improve well-being.
The rind of the garcinia Cambogia fruit contains the ingredient hydroxycitric Acid (HCA). It has been extensively studied for its weight loss properties and has been used in Asia as a condiment and food. It is not known if it has any side effects. It is best to exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet. If you're not able to exercise regularly, garcinia cambogia is not the best option for you.
Buying garcinia cambogia products online can be an excellent way to save time and money. You can order anything you want anytime, and you won't have to wait in lines or ask the store assistants for help. You won't need to carry heavy shopping bags. It can be difficult to find the best quality garcinia Cambogia products, especially if this supplement is new to you. Therefore, it's important to read customer reviews before buying.
There are many garcinia cambogia products on the market. The formulas can be very different. A good formula will have at least 50 percent HCA, and other ingredients. If you're not sure which brand is right for you, it's best to look for a product made from a natural ingredient. Drops of Nature sells pure garcinia. It is vegan-friendly, non GMO, and contains no sugars or additives. It also works to boost your metabolism naturally.
One of the key benefits of garcinia cambogia is its ability to curb appetite. This is especially beneficial for those suffering from obesity or hyperlipidemia. In addition to being rich in hydroxycitric acid, the fruit also contains other nutrients such as anthocyanisides and vitamin C, which support weight loss through a variety of mechanisms. Garcinia cambogia is also rich in Choline, which contributes to the normal metabolism of fat. Choline and Chromium are important for maintaining blood glucose levels and promoting the production of energy.
The supplement has some drawbacks. It has been linked to liver injury in certain people and may interact with drugs. Garcinia cambogia products should be avoided by people with liver disease, hyperthyroidism or rhabdomyolysis. Garcinia cambogia is not safe for those with hepatitis A or B.

Smash's Katherine McPhee Chops Off Her Hair
Smashmight not be the only thing Katharine McPhee says goodbye to!
The American Idolalum cut off her hair this week, debuting a much shorter 'do than what she's kept for her Smash alter ego over the last two seasons. Does this mean she's already bid farewell to Karen? With NBC moving the show to Saturdays, it seems likely that Smash isn't long for this world.
Fall TV Scorecard: Renewed or canceled?
Meanwhile, McPhee will return to her old stomping grounds on Idol Thursday, performing alongside One Direction. "I'm excited about today! Get to see all my old Idol family! Been too long," McPhee tweeted.
What do you think of McPhee's new look?

The Boeing Co. plans to reduce its engineering workforce by 1,500 to 1,700 people by the end of the year, with as many as 700 engineers facing layoff.
"Unfortunately and unavoidably we must take additional actions that will impact some direct employees," Mike Delaney, vice president of engineering for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, wrote in a message sent Thursday to engineering managers.
Roughly 100 manufacturing engineering employees in the Puget Sound region will receive 60-day notices on Friday, Delaney wrote. The company already has let go 700 contract workers since October. Boeing will reach the 1,500 to 1,700 reduction through a combination of attrition and layoffs.
The company is reducing engineering employment for two reasons. First, non-recurring development work on the 787-8, 787-9 and KC-46A tanker has been completed, Delaney wrote.
Secondly, "potential development programs for the 787-10X and 777X, which might have provided opportunities to avoid these layoffs, have not been formally approved and launched," Delaney wrote.
Delaney called the prospect for future development work "very positive" but said the work for the yet-to-be-launched 787-10 and 777X was "too far out" for the company to maintain the current engineering employment level.
A formal launch of the larger version of Boeing's Dreamliner and the updated 777 have been in the works. The company was expected to seek formal approval this month from its board of directors to begin offering the 777X to customers.
The timeline for introducing those models into commercial service has not changed, Doug Alder, a Boeing spokesman, said in an interview. The company continues to study the 777X and 787-10 and hasn't delayed plans to develop those aircraft, he said.
The layoffs were disappointing news to Ray Goforth, executive director of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, which represents 23,000 Boeing engineering workers.
Boeing "is actively outsourcing engineering work to the Moscow Design Center while laying off employees in the Northwest who should be performing that work," Goforth said.
The company's design center in Russia has been a sore point for the union as has the company's use of outsourcing over the years. SPEEA has pointed to outsourcing as the reason Boeing was nearly three years behind schedule in delivering the first 787 jet.
Boeing and SPEEA inked new labor contracts for engineers and technical workers earlier this year after lengthy and contentious negotiations. The two sides continue negotiations for 106 pilots. Boeing announced plans earlier this year to move flight simulator jobs to Miami, resulting in the loss of 41 pilot and simulator instructor jobs in the Puget Sound region.
"The company is running on a bean-counter focus," said Bill Dugovich, SPEEA communications director. "It's not taking into consideration the engineers and pilots we have here."
Boeing's Alder denied the company was moving engineering work from the Puget Sound to the Moscow Design Center. However, he acknowledged the company continues to hire in "critical" skill areas.
Last month, Boeing announced it plans to lay off 800 machinists by the end of 2013. Layoff notices were sent April 5 to 939 workers, according to the local district of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. Boeing said that it no longer needs as many mechanics to rework and modify 787s and 747-8s as the company has improved the quality of the jets coming off the production line.
Boeing employed 85,852 people in Washington at the end of March. The company's employment in the state has been declining since reaching a high of 87,023 last October.
